about us

We are Girls Scouts from Austin united in our love for the ocean and ability to scuba dive. We are ocean advocates by using less straws and coral safe sunscreen, participating in lake clean-ups, and encourage others to do the same. Through our troop's sponsor dive shop we became part of NOAA's Ocean Guardian Dive Club and took the Ocean Guardianship Pledge, and we work hard to protect the ocean and "dive like a girl scout" as well as live by the Girl Scout law.

how our troop formed

The idea for a Girl Scout Scuba Troop started in 2015 when Queen Trigger, a troop leader and divemaster, asked Queen Angel and the Splendid Toadfish if they would be interested in helping build a year-round scuba program for GSCTX including classes and a separate troop. Both of them agreed immediately, because the idea was so awesome. After working with GSCTX's Outdoor Program Specialist for a while, the paperwork was filed in 2016. The first meeting, in February 2017, had just 4 scouts: Cuttlefish, Flounder, Octogirl, and Otter ; now we are up to 10 members of our troop!

and to--respect my limits and the limits of others--respect my DMs and instructors--use resources wisely to protect my watershed--make the underwater world a better placeand be an ocean guardian for every Girl Scout.
